The Occupy Movement aims to untangle the corrupting influences of money and power on elected representatives of the people. Chicago is the Poster Child of political corruption and Pay-For-Play. And there are no bigger Pay-for-Players in Chicago than Big Union.

Once you hand over this movement to them, they will own you.

This is a Take Back Chicago protest that seeks to co-opt the Occupy Movement.

From the article: "The Take Back Chicago protest was organized by the Chicago Teachers Union, labor groups and other organizations....." The teachers union is locked in a battle with Mayor Rahm Emmanuel over vouchers, school hours, and pensions.

DON'T RUIN THE MOVEMENT WITH YOUR OWN AGENDA!!!

I hope it goes down peacefully, no one provokes the police and that the police respect your rights to march.
